Thank to all of you who appreciate this thread. As a second year student, things have not changed. Everyone is as vicious and arrogant as they were on the first day. Now they have reason to be vicious, as most of them aren't getting any jobs! I wonder how my good friend Jacy is doing?

First of all, I personally spoke with the person who was in charge of the survery which resulted in those statistics. ONE person did graduate and started at $500,000. As you can see from the stats, 6 people were in the $100,000-500,000 range. Also, the big assumption you are making is that ALL law students want to work for a huge firm. WNEC has an outstanding clinic program along with a mock trial team that frequently makes the national championships. Is WNEC highly regarded nationally, not completely but it is making advances. Will you be able to teach at Harvard with a WNEC degree? probably not. Can you be an excellent practioner of the law with a WNEC degree...absolutely. As with any law school, a person should make a choice based on their personal preferences. If you prefer a quiet, supportive, friendly, cohesive, yet challenging environment WNEC is the school for you. I attended a Tier 1 school for undergrad and the education I have received at WNEC is of much higher quality than that school. Don't be so quick to dismiss it unless you have attended there.

what a small world! i went to SU for undergrad. i was rejected for their law school. besides buffalo, SU was my number 1 choice. why does your friend want to leave SU? what other reason would you need besides $30,000 less for tuition!! :-)

My grades were average-above average. I did exceptional in some classes and mediocre in others. The biggest reason for the transfer is because I have a chronic medical condition and my insurance is not accepted in Mass. There is no negotiating the insurance issue b/c i'm lucky to have any sort of coverage that pays $2000 per month for medicine. I have been driving back and forth to NY to get medications and treatment. Buffalo is much closer to home and my medical providers.

I sent them five letters of recommendation, 4 from professors and 1 from the chief attorney at my clerkship this summer. I dont think 33% is good odds. I'm just waiting for my rejection letter to roll in. At least I tried.
